What post code are you?
That's a lot of freight?
How big is it?
Have you considered bolting the steel together?
No stress relieving needed.
Can you use CAD?
If so draw up some 5mm steel plate brackets for stiffening all the joints put in all the holes as well to form strong corners. And get them laser cut. For 5mm steel the minimum hole size is 5mm.
My guess is a couple of hundred maybe 3 hundred would pay for a lot of brackets inc the steel. Once you are happy with the design glue all the joints together with metal filled epoxy and bolt them up for keeps.
